To all persons to whom these presents may come Be it known that I, JAMESSALISBURY BROWN, of Pawtncket, of the county of Providence and State ofBhode Island, have invented a new and useful In:- provement in theFliers of Machines for Making Roving; and do hereby declare the same. tobe fully described in the following specification and represented in theaccompanying drawing, of which- Figure 1 denotes a side elevation;

In carrying out my invention I form the flier-neck with a notch madelaterally into it from one side, near the upper end of such neck, or inthat part which usually extends above the neck-bearing or bolster, suchnotch being made to open into the bore of the neck, the whole beingsubstantially as represented in the drawing, in which the notch is shownat a as formed in the neck b so as to open into the bore a of the saidneck.

The purpose of the notch is to enable the roving, after its introductioninto the upper part ofthe neck, to be seized by an operative and drawnlaterally out of the neck and carried one or more times about or aroundthe neck at the notch and afterward returned into the neck, the rovingpassing thence down the neck in the usual manner.

In the drawing e y The roving is exhibited at 1'. By being carried aboutthe neck of the flier friction is gained in the I forth.
